Hello Everyone. My name is Kim. I'm a second year gardener out of zone 7 (I'm more specifically located in the Southern Delaware region). I started last year with a small hobby greenhouse and a container garden that successfully grew squash, zucchini, tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, peas, peppers, potatoes, and some herbs. This year I plan to do some more raised bed, and in ground planting than strictly container, but with a lot of the same vegetable options, just different varieties. I learned a lot last year simply by doing, but I love the idea of reading other peoples success' as well as failures to help in my process. I can't wait to read everything everyone has to say and suggest. Thank you all!! Kim
Hi Kim and a hearty welcome to GardenStew Learning by doing is always the best way to learn I think. I'm really looking forward to following your adventures this year so don't be shy!
Hi Kim, Welcome and greetings from southeast coastal NC. It sounds as though you did very well with your growing last year, a nice foundation to build upon. I'm sure that you will find the members of GardenStew to be a very friendly group with whom to enjoy the exchange of ideas and experiences.
Frank- I couldn't agree more. I'm thrilled to share with everyone. Zuzu- I was very pleasantly surprised by my success last year. Especially being my first year. Although I do think I bit off a little more than I could chew. This year my focus is on keeping most of what I had success with last year and perfecting. Thank you guys so much I can't wait to share this years trials as well as get some great advice.
Welcome aboard Kim--from a Stewbie in Wisconsin. This is a great community from all over the world. Looking forward to seeing pic's of your little corner of the world.
Hello and welcome from Illinois. I tried container gardening and did well with some things but my cucumbers were a disaster. Wishing you well with your garden this year.
Hello Kim, welcome to the Stew from the north-west coast of Norway. Hop in and make yourself at home. I'm looking forward to stewing with you.
Hello everyone!!!! Wannabe- thats a shame!! My cukes were my absolute favorite part. I trellised them up and they just took off. That was probably the only thing that grew to potential. Everything else however, just didn't quite produce to the level I wanted them too. Thats why I'm switching to mostly raised beds this year.
